More and more merchants around central FL are restoring their mask mandates. I was in Lowes this morning and they have put the signs back up that masks are mandatory, regardless of vaccination status. This is becoming much more common now as things continue to be worse in FL right now than they were at any time during the pandemic since it started in early 2020. Hospitalization and death rates are the highest they’ve ever been right now.
As the state continues to see high numbers of COVID-19 cases, Orange County health officials said some morgues at its hospitals have hit capacity.

And many more school systems are expected to make masks mandatory in the coming days as well now that the governors ban has been struck down.
School districts in Florida may impose mask mandates, a judge said Friday, ruling that Gov. Ron DeSantis overstepped his authority by issuing an executive order banning the mandates.

And combine that with DCL now requiring vaccination in defiance of state law (because it’s the right thing to do) and you get an indication you should not expect mask requirements at WDW to be reduced any time soon.
